Y B News Jammu, Nov 30 Jagdish Kumar Sharma, President and all the members of Shamshaan Enlightenment Welfare Association (SEWA), working with the matters related to Shamshaan Ghats (Cremation Ground/s) conditions and facilities available to the society as a welfare measure expressed with great concern that some local miscreants demolished newly constructed bathroom at Shamshaan Ghat Bhour Camp (Jammu). It is concerned directly with general public and deeply hurt the sentiments of people of all walks. This act also seems to facilitate encroachers / land grabbers to extend their boundaries upto existing road crossing through Shamshaan Ghat.

It is also reiterated that there was a Shed constructed by H S Bali, ex MLA on the request of people in the year 1986 used as a seating place during cremation. The Roof of the said Shed was removed by the contractor and a new Bath Room was constructed on the same foundation and pillars for the purpose of Washroom/ Public convenience during cremation. But unfortunately contractor demolished the newly constructed bathroom / washroom with the reasons best known to him. People of the society in general and members of society in particular requested higher authorities to consider the matter seriously, to punish the culprits involved in heinous crime against the society and resolve the issue immediately before the aggrieved protesters ply and block roads and untoward incident took place. As a period of one and half month passed to the incident and a complaint has already been sent to DC Jammu, SDM Jammu South, Tehsildar Jammu South, also an application for FIR submitted to Incharge Police Post Chatha, SHO Police Station Satwari, SDPO Gandhi Nagar Jammu, SP Jammu South and SSP Jammu but no any kind of action has been taken by the authorities concerned uptill now.
